I recently have been getting world coins and some random ancients, can anyone identify these coins? Or if they are fake? The first four coins are shown again directly below them on the reverse side, the pictures after that are from the original four coins left to right, top to bottom. Also there is another coin at the bottom.

Top left is Kushan

Top right - late roman - possibly Gallienus

bottom left is Roman Provincial - I should know the city that reverse with the text within a wreath is but I can't remember at the moment.

Bottom right also late roman - female I think - probably Salonina.

Bacchus2 has rightly said Top left is Kushan. There is a cow to the left and a standing man on the obv. making it an issue of Vasudeva who followed Huvishka.
Rest in Peace

Numbers or letters above each coin would be helpful!

Sorry about that, they should all be numbered now with front and reverse.

Coin 1 is as Bacchus2 thinks Gallienus.

The reverse is in pretty poor shape but its most likely Victory in a pose similar to this coin:

Unidentified-Ancients

Gallienus ruled from 253-268, I would say your coin is from the latter part of his reign but difficult to say any more.

They are all real.
